I absolutely love watching you work this dog. First of all, she's beyond cute with those ear tufts and second, she's absolutely insane. Love it!

And I think her guard will be a lot more focused in the blind as she matures, just give her some time to grow up. Looked to me that she was having a "wait, who's touching me" moment, which probably had something to do with the fact that Scott was standing right outside the blind, filming.

She'll definitely be fun to watch compete when you start trialing her.

Lol thank you! A lot of her foundation was done on Scott, but we are trying to get her more into a "fighting" state of mind and less of a "playtime with daddy" one. I see her giving him the stink eye if he gets within biting distance sometimes lol. I'm sure more repetition will clear It all up.

Nice to see good training. Is she silent out? if so how do you keep her attn on the decoy in distraction?

Thanks! She is silent. I was disappointed at first, but it's what she wants to do naturally and I don't want to mess with it . We do a lot of the helper pushing her away and jumping back if she isn't keeping intense focus during the out. Usually work on it on the table or pole at this point, where the helper can jump back and Carm can't bite them =p

I like her, looks like a nice little female ear tufts and all. Very fast unlike my lumbering beast..lol. Im betting her longbite will look quite dramatic as she ages, seems like she wants to fly.

One thing we do if a dog is anticipating the down for the escape bite is keep heeling around the blind. Once the dog is focused back on the handler it is sent for the escape.

Not directed specifically at you OP. I know you guys got it covered. Just a general training tip.

The dog between the legs = put him in neutral, let him go nuts
The dog on the left = needs to contain himself
This way it's absolutely clear to the dog
But that's just our way, eveyrone has their own methods

We do the same just by grabbing the collar and standing off center. Sitting at the left is obedience mode.

She's definitely a little crazy
